Seems like kind of a whiner to me but he's certainly more in the right than the Texans. How you mess it up with a Top5 QB who is 25 is beyond me. They traded away some top wide outs for no reason, employed BoB, and the not working taking his feedback in the coach/GM was the last straw. [Reply]

But what AFC teams can we comfortably say, other than us, are clearly better than Denver with Watson?
It depends.
The Broncos won’t be the only team in the AFC to make moves.
Either way, that’s a team with a lot of needs, and potentially more depending on what happens with guys like Miller and Simmons. If they trade 3 high picks for Watson, they won’t be making many significant improvements elsewhere anytime soon.
The type of teams that make sense for Watson have more draft capital and/or are ready to win their division now with him. [Reply]

This.
No one should be afraid of Denver, even with Watson at QB. Their entire football organization is a mess, I mean, not quite Texans level clusterfuck, but not far behind . . . . . . [Reply]

Exactly. They'll just fuck up a good situation. Watson KNOWS that and he won't go there. But if he did, BFD.
Now IF the "unthinkable" happened, and he ended up being traded to Baltimore for Lamar Jackson plus picks/ players - THEN be AFRAID. Because Watson in THAT offense could be lethal, because he can run as well as pass. [Reply]

All great points.
But what does Denver have?
Good (not great) OL protection, great weapons outside, great weapons in the backfield, and assuming Von Miller doesn't end up in prison, two dynamic passrushing ends.
What exactly does this team with Watson need? Some more help in the back seven, but you don't need to flush that with premium picks if you're decent at your job.
If you gave me Denver's roster now with Deshaun Watson, they push the Bills for the 2 seed this past season. They may have actually won it outright.
We just sleep on how good that Denver roster is because their QB situation is hot garbage. [Reply]

Would be a pretty neat trick to win second seed without winning your division. [Reply]
Edit: Let me just reiterate my point, though. Denver this year with Watson under center would have very possibly been the 2nd best team in the AFC. [Reply]
